Bob Saget to Play Bon Scott in New AC/DC Biopic!
Hollywood California – Actor Bob Saget has officially been confirmed to play the role of Bon Scott in an upcoming biopic about the rock group AC/DC.
The comedian is known for his role as ‘Danny Tanner’, the widowed father on the syrupy sweet sitcom Full House. Saget will also produce, write, and direct the film, according to AC/DC’s manager, “Opie” Skjerseth, who made the announcement Thursday night at the Artist & Management Awards in London.
Saget has been working with a vocal coach and will do all the singing as well. “People may not be aware that Saget is an excellent singer with a 3 octave range.” said Angus Young, guitarist of AC/DC. “He also fit the camel toe suit.” Joked Young.
The Aristocrats
Bob Saget is also known as the filthiest standup comedian in the world. He starred in ‘The Aristocrats’, which is a film centering on many comedians telling the same joke. The ‘Aristocrats’ is a joke as old as time. The basis of the joke is, A family goes into an agent’s office and tries to sell their act. The act consists of obscene, offensive, horrifying violence, bodily functions, and vulgarity. The family then reveals that they incongruously bill themselves as “The Aristocrats”.
There is no word when the film will be released. When asked what is his favorite AC/DC song, Saget replied “I really like ‘Stairway to Heaven'”. “I think they do a song about shaking all night long too, right? I like that one as well, but I am a big fan of Neil Diamond. We are trying to work some of Neil’s songs into the movie somehow.”
Bon Scott was born Ronald Belford Scott on July 9 1946, in Scotland, and moved at an early age to Australia. Scott joined AC/DC in 1974. The legendary front man died on February 19 1980 at the age of 33. Scott passed out after a night of heavy drinking in a London club called the Music Machine.
